Ok..I bought hardware a couple of months ago..but now I'm lookin' for some excellent headphones...
Right, I've been using Sony headphones for the past month..but I'm not thrilled with them at all...to weak for my reckoning...so I was wondering what headphones to get out of these two:
1)Pioneer HDJ-1000
2)Technics RPDH1200
They're both about the same price..but was wondering which is better??
I know the Senheiser headphones are the best BUT they're a bit more expensive..so I wanted to know the better of these two.
Thx alot guys!
Cheers

I wouldn't go near the pioneer 1000 headphones, from what i hear they suffer badly from cracking issues. I rekcon just get the hd-25 and never upgrade again. I started of with pioneer dj5000 headphones and recently bought hd-25s from chemical-records.co.uk for $200 cheaper then what they sell for in Australia.
Or go the sony 7605 which ive never heard a bad review about.

he does. The bass is a bit overblown on them and it distorts when you turn them up, and they're heavy as can be. I had a pair & they recently cracked, but they did last a little less than a year & a half. The pioneers sound better, but break more easily.
(I know you're looking at the RH - but I love the RP's.)

I dunno actually, I think the RH's look too similar to the Sony MDR700's - well, if you squnit a bit.
I like how tidy the RPs are, they fit, they're light(ish) and the sound like you want them to.
I bought the Sony 700's when they came out because I loved how they looked - I got rid of them after a couple of months as they were like standing next to a bass bin.. underwater. That was the last time I bought a set of nut-phones based on looks.
